Fastighetsbyran
Located in Österlen, Sweden, this barn-to-residence conversion turned an L-shaped turn-of-the-century farm building into something that feels more like a modern house. The 4,200 square foot home includes four generous-sized bedrooms and a really great great room with 22-foot-high ceilings set with skylights. It sits on 1.5 beautifully planted acres, complete with, entertaining space, swimming pool, and spectacular views of the unspoiled hills surrounding it.
The beadboard-paneled ceiling, resplendent with natural exposed beams, provides the perfect counterpoint to the gorgeous polished white concrete floor. The white and grey palette sports just enough touches of black and natural wood to warm it up and give it depth and character. And at least by U.S. standards, it’s even kind of a bargain at 5.995 million Swedish Krona, or around $680,000 USD!
So if you’re interested in learning more about the property, you can see the listing on the realtor’s website.

I need a little more color, but the finishes and layout really are spectacular

That is quite the transformation! I love that so many of the features and qualities of the building have either been retained or have been echoed in the use of materials and shapes. I also love how spacious and light it is. White always appeals to me when I see it in other people’s houses but the reality of the boys’ grubby handprints means I would absolutely never have pure white in my house.

After incessantly binge-watching HGTV makeovers for the last year and a half, I am warming somewhat to the idea of white, but faced with color decisions for our redone bedrooms last week, I went right back to color. I like whites in other people’s houses, but I can’t live with it.

I always imagine that people with white kitchens never eat pasta and….gasp!…red sauce. Can you imagine?! 🙂

You are so right! It’s also why I never used to dress my babies in white.

Nor do they drink red wine. White counters are definitely not for me. I’m a spiller!

I grew up on a horse ranch, so… I kinda grew up in a barn. It did not look like this. 😉 This is what my dream house would look like!

And in Colorado, you’d actually have the room for it! You don’t see a lot of converted barns in Manhattan…

WOW! So much LIGHT!!! Stunning transformation. I wonder though – Sweden’s winters can be colder even than ours in Canada – with all those windows – how do they keep the cold out? I guess the description would cover that. Anyway, gorgeous to look at!!

I hadn’t thought of that. Maybe it is cold. Don’t know. Sure is pretty though!
